    have figures out (i think) where the problem is! The game i was playing at the time it first crashed is football manager. I have been trying to uninstall it but everytime i do it crashes! is there anyway to get it off my computer or am i stuck with formatting it?

    The whole thing sounds FUBAR'ed. A good format and reinstal would have fixed it by now.  ;)

      How did you try and do the memtest86 test?
      Did you extract it to a floppy then boot to that floppy?
      A clean install won't fix a hardware problem so I'd try Memtest first.

      With a new motherboard you will need to format and reinstall Windows so this is a good time to address all issues.

      Let us know how the story ends.  ;)

      hey guys

      a short update, i have got a new motherboard and graphics card! however it wasnt any of those that caused a problem nor was it a software problem! It turns out the problem is with my hard drive so i am going to take this oppurtunity to get a bigger hard drive

      will keep you informed!

      (i am sure that someone had already told me that a complete re-format probabl;y wouldn't do the job!! lol)
